The bank of the brook in the location shown has in the past been dug away and restored with sandbags. The sandbags are not high enough and this creates a low breach point. The brook overflows onto the road very regularly after heavy rain (see photo). The water travels down the road for 1/2 mile west eventually becoming 8" deep on the Towersey road. The brook is also in poor condition with trees fallen in and general debris. I think another layer of sandbags and clear some of the debris at that point would solve the problem. The repeated overflow carries debris into all the road drains and blocks gulleys. Significant surface water remains days after a flood.
